How to Play SoundCloud on PS5

Part 1. Is SoundCloud on PS5?

The short answer is no. Although PS5 enables its users to engage in different multimedia activities, such as YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music, it does support a dedicated SoundCloud app in its store up to now. But don't worry, that's why we are here.

Part 2. How to Get SoundCloud on PS5

Since playing SoundCloud tracks on PS5 is not feasible, you need to download the tracks you like from SoundCloud and transfer them to PS5 for offline listening. Just hit the More button under the track and select Download file. The downloaded tracks will be saved to your computer in MP3 format by default.

However, not all tracks on SoundCloud allow you to download. To address this problem, the only required tool is a SoundCloud track downloader--ViWizard Audio Capture.

With the help of ViWizard, the downloaded SoundCloud track will be saved in its original sound quality, giving you a more enjoyable listening experience.
